Jaybastian Call [Sunday morning after Thanksgiving]
Jay: [gently] Hi hon. Sorry to call so early, I just wanted to check in before you got on the road
Sebastian: [rolls his eyes] I'm not broken, don't worry Jay-Jay.
Jay: I know. But this is change. You don't always love change.
Sebastian: [shakes his head] Who does?
Jay: You do, sometimes. Or at least you embrace it sometimes, and run into it because you think the scariness may have a reward.
Sebastian: You know me too well. Shut up, Cutie. [pause] I heard you and Hunt talked. You're officially a couple. You two are rivalling me and Hunt for "Hottest Couple Ever" status. Choose your wardrobe carefully.
Jay: [smiles] Not even close. I heard YOU and Hunt talked. Thank you for being such a class act about all this. I'm sorry.
Sebastian: You have nothing to be sorry about. You two were destined in the stars
Jay: [rolls eyes] I know you don't believe in that. I mean I'm sorry...not sorry for you, but I'm just sorry for how awkward this is, kind of. It must feel really weird. Having your boyfriend start dating your ex. So soon.
Sebastian: It's not that soon. You two have liked each other from that first drink that lasted through dinner and dessert. I thought Hunt had left you to sleep with a random. Nope. He just talked with you until he was blue in the face. That was your first date. So "this" - isn't that soon.
Jay: It's still weird to have your ex date your other ex...
Sebastian: Yeah, I guess. But it's you. I can't hate you. Or Hunt.
Jay: You can hate the situation
Sebastian: Maybe. I don't know. We'll see. It'll be okay Jay-Jay. I'm not the whiny college kid who you dumped at Stanford. I'm made of sterner stuff now. [Smiles] I'll be okay, worry-wart. Really. And you know I'm never quiet if I want you and Hunt to do anything differently. I'll tell you if the weirdness level gets unbearable. See and I already have one request.
Jay: Anything...except anything sexual. [chuckles]
Sebastian: Damn it, I thought I had you there...
Jay: What's your request, seriously.
Sebastian: Don't pity me. Remember I chose this. And I truly like being single. Or maybe I'll find some great guy or bust up another couple like you did...
Sebastian: Haha yep I get to make those jokes.
Jay: I don't pity you. I admire you, like I always have. Your strength and confidence is amazing, and you get so much fun and joy out of life. I could never pity you.
Sebastian: Who knows what the fuck I'll get out life next. A poly, a marriage, maybe I'll get more dogs and become crazy dog-guy uncle to your kids, whatever. I'm ok now, and I'll decide what my life is going to be, and I'm going to take my time doing it.
Jay: As you should. I love you so much, do you know that?
Sebastian: I love you, too. Jett also loves you, he's here and REALLY wants his walk so I've got to go. See you on the other side
Jay: Safe travels! Eep my cousins are here, I have to go, too. [distracted] Bye!
Sebastian: [with melancholy] Bye, beautiful...
